Hi,
I am fairly new to javascript and usually just copy and paste exsiting code if I need to use it at all.
I found a simple javascript code on the web that performs a search. The code as is works perfectly in both Netscape and IE. The problem is I tried to change the code so that it doesn't open a new window for the search results. I would have thought that this would have been fairly simple to do but unfortunately the code brings up errors in Netscape. The errors that are generated are that certain variables and functions have not been defined but I presume that there is a bigger problem at the root of these generated errors.
The following is the code that works correctly:

page="<html><head><title>Search Results</title></head><body bgcolor='white'><center><table border=0 cellspacing=10 width=80%>";
function search(frm) {

win.document.write(page);
